I'm looking at building a small block, 360, to run on the street. Is it possible to build one that can safely have a 7-8k redline? It also will need to be between 350 & 450 whp.

Easy peasy...here you go....although this over shoots your horse power goal by a good chunk.

· 360 block, 4” Scat forged crank, Scat I-beams, Icon forged flat top pistons

· Ported Edelbrocks, 57cc, Hughes solid 264/268 @ 0.050, Howards oil through lifters, Comp Pro Mag rockers, PAC springs

· 13:1 compression, “750” e85 carb built by me (you should use a 950), Victor intake

This is what I built for my Barracuda....do that with a 3.58 crank and you've got a motor that should pull hard to 7500. You can wind the 4" motors up, but it puts a lot of load on the rods...that's why I shift mine at 6500, even though it pulls REALLY hard to my rev limiter @7000.

You will need to keep the valve train & rotating assembly light for it to live.
.....and seriously....not wanting to shift much....with a 5-6 speed.........:realcrazy:
